We are pleased to submit to you the Accomplishment Report of the National Council on Disability Affairs from July to September 2013.

For the third quarter, the Council continues to engage with different government and non-government agencies, other stakeholders and the general public to advocate and sensitize them on the concerns of the sector of persons with disabilities pursuant to the Chairperson’s directive during the 2013 Mid-Year National Management Development Conference. The Council also mobilized concerned sectors and Regional Committees on Disability Affairs to take active part in disability-related celebrations and generated their support in the implementation of legislation affecting the sector.

The Council likewise has partnered with concerned agencies in implementing the Incheon Strategy to “Make the Right Real” for Persons with Disabilities through several activities geared towards attaining the principles of disability inclusive development.
